do I qualify?

Not sure if I qualify, I had a 03 BRG MCS which I loved. I am waiting on an 08 MCS in BRG but according to ASK-MINI it hasn't been painted yet

Maybe i can start a thread in the 1st gear forum Official Primer white

Picked up my new BRG MCS on Saturday and have racked up about 420 miles of quality time.

So far everything is perfect.

My camera batteries went dead while out motoring. I took some quick pictures. I can not believe the BRG color - as soon as I saw it, I knew I had made the rite choice.

Incredible

I'm supposed to pick up my Mini today, after seeing all these pics I have no doubt I chose the right color!

It is a stunning color to be sure I am very happy with it. I was days from going with NFR but to my luck I guess there was a problem with shipping that one so I got Spitfire instead. I am very happy. Especially when the seats are cold in the morning, I crank on the seat heaters.

I should be able to get some nice pics this Saturday after a little drive and stop off in Santa Barbara. If you live in SoCal you should join us. http://socalbritishmotoring.com/viewtopic.php?t=443

We love our BRG '07 MCS. We picked it up mid-November 2007.

I keep our pictures on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bruc3m0...7603716547230/.

The link below has the best equipped BRG/Black MCCS I have seen. It is the first to have the aero kit. It looks too good!

Does anyone have any good pics of a BRG Cooper with either dark silver/grey wheels to a gunmetal? I'm looking at Rota's in gunmetal but can't quite decide if it's a good combo or not. There still are those RPF1's I like...

I just thought I'd post here that I'm currently listening to the great Black Box Recorder song, "British Racing Green." How appropriate.

Just ordered mine yesterday!

Also, anyone create a BRG Owners Club logo for the clubman yet?
